Throughout her career, Catherine recognized a critical gap: the well-being of employees was often overshadowed by business goals. This realization sparked a desire to foster success that balanced high performance with mental health, allowing individuals to thrive both professionally and personally.

“Lean into your network. If you have struggled with and haven’t learned how to ask for help, make sure you work on this first. You need to be able to share your work, ask for business, and say yes when people offer to help. Build a personal “board of directors” with people you trust and that can help you with the things you don’t know. Finding other entrepreneurs is also very helpful. Early days can be quite lonely, so building a community will help keep you going.”
